Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:Desperate Journalist in Ongoing Meaningful Review Situation by: The Cure from: Peel Session #2 - March 16, 1979 Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 058 - John, Jhon, Johnny This is the coolest Peel Session story I know so I have to use it. After sending promo 12"s of "Grinding Halt" to select music critics and radio DJ's only to get no airplay and vilification in the music press, the Cure were invited for a second Peel Session to respond. In response to one particularly pompous reviewer Ian Penman, Robert Smith recorded this Peel Session only version of Grinding Halt in which he mocked Penman's style and "intellectual" music reviewing as a career in general. Pretty ballsy move for such a young band, but I guess it paid off. Twenty-six years later the Cure are still going strong and the only time you hear Ian Penman's name is in refrence to this story about his humiliation on the John Peel show. |
